It is a networked device that is able to receive video and audio steams and display them on your TV. It includes a remote control and once configured is very easy to use. What makes this device extra neat, is that it runs Linux with a few options available giving extra features. Be sure to attend this month's BillingsLUG meeting, when I give a demo of the MVP1000.</p>
<p>When it powers on, it actually loads its OS over the network. The fine people behind the <a href="http://www.mvpmc.org/" target="_mvpmcsite">MVP Media Center</a> project have a quite nice replacement mini Linux Distro to get more out of the MVP 1000.</p>
<p>MVP Media Center supports a number of extras compared to the stock Haupauge offering. There is support to integrate the MVP to your ReplayTV and/or MythTV systems. MVPMC also supports streaming from everyone's favorite media player <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" target="_vlcsite">VLC</a> in addition to audio streaming from a SlimServer.</p>
<p>For February's meeting, I will do a show and tell of this neat little device and we will go through the steps of setting up MVPMC and a Linux PC as a media server.</p>
